TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF PRIZREN

Summary/Abstract: The professional development of teachers is an important issue and a topic of discussion among relevant institutions (MEST-Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology; Municipality Directorates; higher education institutions) in Kosovo. This research paper examines the issue of integration of subjects with a pedagogical character in educational institutions in the municipality of Prizren, in Kosovo, and provides an overview of various programs (vocational training, seminars) that have been/are being implemented by local and international institutions, aiming to increase the professional development and enhance the quality of teaching among education workers in Prizren. The VQT (Vocational training and Qualification of Teachers) and VRT (Vocational training and Re-qualification of Teachers) are two programs discussed in the paper. MEST, as a legislative and supervisory body in Kosovo, plays a key role in establishing the legal framework and building the educational infrastructure, following standards comparable to those in Europe. Hence, this research paper intends to inform relevant institutions and serve as a point of reference for professional development (of teachers), and strategy-compilation processes for the municipality of Prizren.
